I love Bush, but on this one he was wrong.
They violated policy, and ought to have been fired. They should not be doing hard time.
They aren’t the only ones being prosecuted; several others are, for even less cause.
Sutton is an embarrassment. He was protecting the drug dealer who continued to run drugs, up until he was embarrassed into action by media attention. And then, when he went after the drug dealer, he violated his own word to the guy. He is a disgrace.
Look, once law enforcement officers lie, they need to go down. I am one myself. Should the day ever arrive that I misplace the public’s trust and lie my ass off, I should be hammered to all hell and I would not expect to have misguided supporters.
I support our border agents shooting illegal alien drug runners with intent to kill. For Ramos/Compean lying about the circumstances surrounding the shooting they deserved to be fired, not given hard time.
I don't support DAs (like Johnny Sutton) who give prosecutorial immunity to drug smugglers (like Aldrete-Davila), and who lie their corrupt asses off in attempts to cover up the truth.
